NOT A FREE TRIAL Sat through a 30 minute information session to be told that we couldn’t train unless we were signing up at the end of the session. Would not recommend sitting through a 30 minute session to be told you’re not able to train without signing up. My partner and I are moving into the area and will absolutely not be signing up to this gym.

So I call because I wanted an specific membership, they told me they didn't have it, all good, then the guy told me to go to the gym and maybe they can work something out. So I went to see the "offer" and this guy just tell me there is nothing they can do about it, just the membership that they offer me by the phone. Why make me go all the way there? I already said the membership didn't work for me in the phone... It literally took them less than a minute to say there was nothing they could do, and that there is no other offer... what a waste of time... I believe this is a bad management problem. I probably would have not review.. but now I have to go through the trouble because of this.

For people who still think gyms are full of roided muscle thugs then you're in for a great surprise! Dukes gyms have a great chilled and friendly atmosphere. The staff are great! They're very friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I gave up going to gyms years ago due to the meat-head mentality. A friend suggested Dukes. I bit the bullet and have been going regularly for the past 2 months. I highly recommend checking out Dukes.... especially if you're like me who wants to exercise but not be hassled by roided meat-heads! Oh and it's open 24 x 7!!!

I've been coming to Dukes gym Richmond for the past few months and I highly rate this gym. Jonno and Michael have been great setting me up on a program where I am really seeing results. I was tired of big gyms that have PTs who aren't looked after and that comes out in the quality of the coaching. The team here are invested in your progress. I always find joining a new gym nerve racking and I have joined a fair few in the past where they just didn't seem inclusive. I think anyone would feel welcome at Dukes. I also like they have an onsite Physio and have appreciated the work Dave has done with a small shoulder issue I've been having. I think Jonno and the team should be really proud of what they have built here and can see myself being a member for a very long time.

Great gym and equipment but a personal trainer by the name of Jonothan conducted himself in a very unprofessional manner which ruined the experience for myself and my partner.

I really enjoy training a Dukes. Giant facility with good equipment, particularly their free weight area that has ample squat racks and specialty bars. It's never too crowded and it's always tidy. If you're in the Richmond area, I highly recommend giving Dukes a visit.

Trying to cancel has been a nightmare. Spoke to staff in the gym about how to cancel, got told they can’t do it at the gym and I need to go online. Signed up for their membership portal and couldn’t find anything for cancellation. Tried to call again (during staffed hours) to clarify with no one answering the phone. Went in again to try and cancel and got told I need to email them and only then would they start my 30 days notice. Have somehow now been charged $40 for late fees when my final payment was just $35.

Disrespectful staff and a poorly managed gym. Inflexible membership options. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Much better gyms and value elsewhere in the area.

If you're looking for a spacious gym where you won't need to wait for the necessary equipment to become available, this is the place to go. They offer a women-only zone, a cardio zone, a physiotherapy zone, numerous reputable pieces of equipment, and all this with plenty of fresh air. One notable aspect is that you can visit the place at any time. The team is genuinely caring about each client, assisting you in reaching your fitness goals. Special thanks to Tommy for motivating my lazy self forward :)

The PT’s are amazing. As someone new to the gym. Really glad I have Michael guiding me to hit my goals.

Can’t recommend Dukes enough. Working with Jonno and the team at Dukes Gym has been really rewarding. Starting from no real base and Ive learned a tonne, obtained a solid foundation to build on, and found real motivation in the sessions and method of the program. Great facilities, great people

Brilliant setup! Gym is well kitted out with everything you need. Plenty benches, squat racks, free weights and machines to get stuck into. The team are top class! Friendly and professional, they create a really positive atmosphere within the gym. Currently on my last week of the 6-week challenge. Jonno has been a legend throughout the challenge and helped me achieve new levels that I am really proud of - thanks again mate. I only have positive things to say about Dukes. I would recommend them to anybody considering joining.

Best gym in Richmond (believe me I’ve tried them all). Perfect middle ground between performance and accessibility for experts and newbies alike

The gym boasts a diverse range of equipment, and what sets it apart is their commitment to listening to feedback for continuous improvement. The 24/7 access and convenient location make it a top-notch fitness choice. I had an outstanding experience at this gym with personal trainer Tom and continue to train with him regularly. His expertise spans from powerlifting to bodyweight exercises, offering tailored advice to fit your lifestyle.

Great gym and team. Never been one for fitness. Didn’t know the correct way to sit on a bench and turned up to my first PT session in socks birks. Fast forward to now, many years later and I’m doing a 6 week challenge. My trainer Tom OD always brings out my inner athlete and gets me to my fitness goals. Big gym, plenty of equipment and space to do whatever you need to. Highly recommend

Duke's Gym and personal trainer Michael have been game-changers for my fitness journey. The gym offers a fantastic atmosphere, top-quality equipment, and friendly staff. Michael's dedication and expertise are outstanding. His personalised workouts and unwavering support have helped me reach fitness goals I never thought possible. Each session leaves me feeling motivated and empowered. Duke's Gym and Michael have not only transformed my physique but also my passion for getting fit again. If you want results and a trainer who genuinely cares, Duke's Gym and Michael are the only choice. Five stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazingggggg PT! (Michael) He builds that rapport with you first before he builds your muscles 💪🏽 You feel very comfortable with him. He pushes you to the limit of only what you’re comfortable with; and would never force you to do anything you’re not. If you’re looking for a PT that exceeds your expectations, and goes above and beyond in the profession, Michael is highly recommended for this role. He provides a full plan for you to follow and is only a message away when you need him! He’s the best!

Great gym - just the right size to have everything you need, clean and room to move, while still having a workout atmosphere. Unpretentious too - no meatheads.

Have tried a few different gyms in the area but this one is the best! Great equipment, large free weights area and a women’s only section. I’ve also been doing PT with Tommy which has been great in reaching my sporting goals. Definitely recommend 😊

I recently made the switch to Dukes gym and have been loving the training support that I am getting from my program with trainer Tom. I’m already seeing a difference, feeling fitter and stronger

Fantastic gym 😍 super clean and well kept. Great place for newbies and experienced lifters. Have plenty of speciality bars and also has a competition bench (rare to find)

Very Good environment for doing workout with advance equipment on top of that friendly staff and trainer which can help you to get your dream physique .

Starting at Dukes Gym has been great - it has everything I need, including a females only section ample amounts of equipment and amazingly friendly staff. I signed up for PT with Patrick, and I couldn’t be happier! He is so supportive, able to understand my abilities and strengths and has really helped me set up solid plan to keep me motivated to coming back into the gym. It's a great friendly team and I highly recommend this gym and personal training with Patrick

Regularly training there, PT experience is awesome. Big Gym with a variety of equipment .

Awesome gym, great atmosphere and staff. 10/10

Fantastic gym. Women only section is well-equipped, and the physio is such a bonus! Really friendly, enthusiastic and helpful staff, clean facilities and a chill vibe.

This gym has everything I need for my bodybuilding training style. Most importantly, the vibe is great, and I’ve made lots of connections with fellow like-minded members. This place offers the most positive and motivating environment for me to train and I travel 30 mins just to get a decent session here, where I can’t in my local gym 2 mins away from my home. And I reckon it’s the best gym in the Fitness Passport network!

Cool 24/7 gym inside a fully air conditioned rustic warehouse with new and well maintained equipments, plenty of racks for squats, deadlifts and chess presses which means no waiting around! Really like that there’s a ladies’ only area too, I feel safe in there on days when confidence level is low. Tommy, PT, is wonderful, knowledgeable and writes terrific programs - sessions with him are not painless but they are also fun with giggles and good conversations.

Friendly/knowledgeable staff and everything that you need to train with. Chilled enough that I never find myself waiting for equipment, but enough people around working hard that you can catch the vibe and enjoy a good training atmosphere.

I started personal training here about 6 months ago, the trainers are great and really knowledgeable. The facilities are great and always clean and in top condition. Best gym in Richmond

Awesome gym! All the staff are super friendly, equipment is great with heaps of machines, free weights and benches and it’s never too crowded to workout properly

Tess is an amazing trainer and has helped me progress immensely over the last couple of months. Couldn’t recommend her as a trainer more! Great big gym with womens area. 10/10

Dukes Gym is awesome, highly recommend! Their women-only section is great, it just makes you feel more confident and comfortable. All of the staff are so friendly and happy to help out.

Before becoming a member I interviewed a few gyms that might offer what I wanted. Duke became my gym because it felt like home. The staff were friendly and the vibe was good. Whilst there is a selection is cardio equipment, the gym is predominantly strength based with a huge selection of free weights and also functional training machines. What impressed me most was the mix of clientele: people of all abilities and body types doing their thing and the beautiful women’s only section with its jungle wallpaper. The female bathrooms were another huge tick. Seriously, it’s like being at home in super luxurious space. Check Dukes out for yourself. I highly recommend it. And as a bonus it’s 24 hours!

I have had the most amazing time with Tess at Dukes. Since the very beginning she understood my goals and has built a program that has not only help me achieved my vision but smash it within the few months I have been with her. She is extremely committed and has made me feel very strong and powerful. Could not recommend her enough, even if I tried!!!

Great gym, friendly staff. Excellent equipment and a great training vibe. I don't have a bad thing to say about the place.

As a first time gym goer, I was always nervous about starting a fitness journey. Thankfully, I’ve always felt so comfortable and welcomed by the team at Dukes. The environment and facilities are perfect for my needs. If anyone is looking to start a new fitness venture, make sure you check out Patrick as your PT, he’s always booked out, but definitely worth the waitlist! He always brings the fun, makes anyone feel comfortable and ready for the gym and helped my smash my goals.

I’ve been a member at Duke’s for over a year and I really enjoy training there. The staff are all very friendly and there is a wide range of equipment that is all very well maintained. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re on the lookout for a new gym.

Moving to Melbourne I was looking for a gym that I enjoyed going to. I joined dukes with my housemate and have never looked forward to going to the gym more!! The women’s only section is fantastic at Richmond, open and airy and a welcoming safe space. Jonno always makes PT fun and am hitting more PBs than ever before. Highly recommend!!

Love Dukes Gym - it honestly has everything I need, including a females only section which was a nice way to get me back into my workouts without feeling too self conscious. I personally decided to start with PT with Jono, who is awesome! Jono is so knowledgable, able to understand my style (aka attention span) and has really helped me regain my strength in a short period of time. It's a great team and I couldn't recommend this gym and Jono high enough! Thanks again Jono!

Unreal gym, with a good selection of equipment and free weights. Staff are friendly and very welcoming! One of the top gyms I’ve been too around Melbourne ??

Dukes Gym is friendly safe and comfortable space to workout. It's never overcrowded, everyone is respectful and the trainers are brilliant and knowledgeable. The women’s only section is a bonus but there are plenty of women out on the main gym floor.

I’ve been working out at Dukes for the past 2 years. Nothing but good things to say about the gym itself and staff. I especially like the women’s only space which is hard to come by in Richmond.

Great gym with an amazing range of equipment and large free weights area. Gym is well layered out and very clean which is important to me. I have been seeing Tom who has developed a challenging program for me to meet my fitness goals with an emphasis on correct technique, also important to me. Highly recommended

I came to Dukes with no previous gym experience, and the staff were able to guide me through everything - using the equipment, structuring workouts, and technique for different exercises. The gym atmosphere is friendly, and there is a women’s only room which is a nice touch.

Great local gym and good trainers as well. They helped me turn around my fitness in a comfortable environment. Good equipment and super high ceilings so helps with air flow throughout the place

Looks like a good gym, but sort of impossible to get in to train. I was down from Brisbane and just wanted to come in for a causal session durring staff hours but was told that I needed to book and there was no bookings available.....

Great facilities and staff. Excellent gym over all.

The staff were very focused on providing a tailored program to suit my individual needs. They were incredibly supportive and easy to communicate with. I was also impressed with the wide range of excellent equipment.

Amazing gym. Not a franchise gym so has a better atmosphere about it, extremely clean and well kept. Great variety of machines as well as helpful staff, was helped by Minh during my trial session and he was nothing but honest, approachable and helpful. 5 stars definitely the best gym in Melbourne would recommend it to everyone.

I really enjoy coming to Dukes. After 2 years away from excercise due to knee operations - I find the team have been helpful in showing g me the equipment and encouraging to go slow. This isn’t the ‘lets Chat’ type of gym - it’s a get in and do the work kinda place. Bathrooms and showers are clean and the lady’s section means a settled workout for all.

A very good, well equipped gym, with friendly and helpful staff.

NOT A FREE TRIAL! I've been looking to find a new gym since moving to prahran and not liking my old gym. I saw dukes online, it looked pretty cool, had all the facilities that I wanted, which weren't offered in prahran. I booked in a trial, I was contacted multiple times by the facility to get me in, only to realise when I got there that it's not a free trial, I had to pay. Not only did I waste time coming down and waiting an hour past my normal training time to try this facility, the person working was also really rude about the situation, telling me it takes 40 minutes to drive here which is a lie. He said it's in their terms and conditions, I looked and it's at the very end, who is going to read that when all they want to do is try your gym. Really disappointed as I'd thought I'd found a cool place to call home. Apparently not. Do not recommend!

Great gym - lovely staff make you feel instantly at home.

Great and friendly staff, fantastic range of equipment and free weights, never too busy and affordable fees. Love this joint and its friendly atmosphere.

A great gym run by great people

Clean gym with everything you need

Friendly staff, good range of equipment and very rarely have to wait for anything!

Lovely trainers, facilities with ample space. A good variety of equipment too.

Great Gym!

Great setup, fantastic atmosphere. Plus a gym dog!

This is amazing!! Great facilities and friendly staff!! I enjoy it so much.

Heap of space, friendly staff, cannot be compared to the other offerings nearby.

Clean clean clean

Fantastic gym, great facilities and super friendly staff

Great location, friendly and handsome staff. They got huge space for ladies only zone which is quite impressive. Highly recommended.

Best gym I've ever been to. I been to a lot of gyms in my life, across mutliple countries but Dukes is definitely the best. Loads of equipment, constantly improving and replacing things, attentive staff and email updates with useful info and offers. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Clean and tidy gym with everything you need to work out. Good location and friendly staff.

Probably the best gym I've ever been to - I especially loved the huge zone especially for women, and every machine you could ask for! The facilities by far beat any of the large gym chains I have been a member of in the past, and for a much more affordable rate.

Excellent facility with an awesome selection of brand new equipment. This place is spotless with a high degree of attention paid to cleanliness. All staff are very helpful and friendly. Ricky is a key member to the team and always goes above & beyond. Walter

Top quality equipment and great atmosphere. Staff always happy to help with any questions I have. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoy training here at Dukes Gym. The space and equipment are very suitable to my needs, it's affordable and the staff are fantastic.

Really enjoying the experience at Dukes Richmond! My personal trainer, Tess, is amazing! She understood what I wanted out of my time at the gym and created a plan that suited my requirements. She is very supportive and takes the time to explain the process which I appreciate during the training sessions. The facilities at the gym are great too!

Awesome Gym. A local favourite.

Great little gym! Personal trainers who know what they're doing, clean showers/change area, great range of up-to-date equipment. Very competitive prices!

The staff are always happy to help out and keep the place clean . All the members i have met have been great and makes for a sting atmosphere keep up the great works guys

Dukes abbotsford is a fantastic gym- really lovely, helpful staff and a great crew of other people training there. I loved being able to jump upstairs and work the bag in an open space before heading down to do some free weights. The guys at reception are always ready to give you a hand and answer any questions. Would recommend highly!

I just went on a week pass to try out the gym as it's local and would be convenient but after one visit I won't be going back. The hygiene and cleaning were terrible. The machines I used absolutely reeked of stale sweat. I had to wait to use every machine too, there just weren't enough to go around and the place didn't seem that busy. A couple of people I asked if I could jump on in-between sets basically told me to F off. People are usually really friendly in gyms and happy to share a machine if it's busy but the two people I asked certainly weren't. I got the feeling the place was really cliquey and if you weren't one of the bros they didn't want you there. Felt really unwelcome the whole time. Honestly worst gym experience I've ever had and I'm happy to travel twice the distance to Anytime Fitness where the machinery doesn't reek and the people are friendly.

Im truly sad I moved suburbs and no longer can use this gym, fantastic equipment, the staff are super friendly and the PTs are fantastic. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area!

A great gym that is very affordable and offers a lot of different services including a women's only area, group fit and coaching. Great value if you are looking for a gym in the Richmond area.

The weights area is huge!!! I’m never standing around waiting for equipment. The staff and trainers are fantastic, and I’m very thankful for their help and guidance during my fitness journey!!!

Awesome space with plenty of equipment. 24 hours and cheap, what more could you ask for.

It’s a perfect gym for me!!! ?

It’s a perfect gym for me. Very lovely and helpful staffs. Nice Interior space. + women section area!

Great location, loads of brand new equipment, free classes and friendly staff

Great space and friendly trainers. Not crowded at all, so I consider it great value.

looked good but working out there was not as good machines/ racks could have been better, I like to use the smith machine a bit but I couldn’t as in was in the woman’s only space:( only went as it was part of the hotel put I will not return again on my next stay.

Great facility with a good bunch of people and atmosphere. Rogue equipment is a nice touch.

I researched gyms in Richmond before signing up at Dukes. Coming back from a serious injury, I was looking for a gym with a range of equipment. I am very pleased that I found Dukes. The facility is always clean and well maintained. The members are friendly. Bricks the gym dog will give you an enthusiastic welcome. The factory refurbishment is appropriate with high ceilings and great ventilation. Importantly I have managed to rehabilitate at Dukes.

Similar story to other members who had trouble with membership. Couldn't suspend or put membership on hold - which is the first gym I've encountered that wouldn't do this. Rude staff. Bad business.

Very unprofessional staff. Gym is in a reasonable location. Shame it is just not well managed. 1 star out of 5.

I needed the motivation to get started again and also to keep going to the gym. Michael at Duke’s in Richmond has provided that to me. He makes sure I stay on track and encourages me to improve further.

Love training at Dukes Gym. The trainers are knowledgeable and really helpful, the space is clean and well organised with a variety of machines. The dedicated womens space is great too.

Love training at Dukes! Cannot recommend starting with PT sessions enough especially if you’re just starting out, or getting back into fitness. Mike really helped me with feeling confident in the gym and with exercise technique. Bonus points for the dedicated women’s section too. Shout out to Mike for being a great PT, couldn’t have got this far without your help!

Great facilities. Clean. Spacious. Cool warehouse vibe. Knowledgeable trainers 👌

Super friendly staff, well maintained gym equipment, many squat racks and an awesome physiotherapy/osteopath clinic upstairs. Sweet place to train 💪
